Or the fog option on image effects in Slender! Chapter 1:Alone.

I would like to expand my idea on a City World, maybe for Rayman Legends. It could be themed around superheroes and crime fighting. The scenery could take place at night and have locations such as; allies, the sewers, skyscraper rooftops, the streets, underground hideouts, etc. The enemies can range from thugs to henchman. The Dark Teensy's level could probably be something like a supervillain's lair/hideout. And maybe the boss could be some doomsday machine/robot unleashed upon the city. Though making the city have the Glade of Dreams feel to it is the tricky part. Maybe it could be the bad part of Picture City, who knows? :P

A City level, huh? Most of the worlds encountered in the series have either been natural landscapes or old architecture, there have been no modern/urban areas, so that would make an interesting change. :) And maybe Picture City does have some bad areas, who knows! (Though in Rayman 1 that entire City was a bad area!)

But it had a happy atmosphere to begin with. I want a dark, gritty night time city area. Maybe have graffiti, spray paint cans for the theme to fit the theme?

Maybe it could have both a city AND nature feel to it. The way the Rayman Animated Series does, and how the subway trains move with the forest and the roads are dirt yet still drivable.

I would prefer the total Urban atmosphere though.

I reckon a Picture City urban environment would be cool. It could be urban, but still colourful. With pencil skyscrapers and stuff.

Heck yeah pencil skyscrapers! I'd imagine the city would be one of those really artsy cities (Duh) and have lots of little theatres and circuses and stuff.

Though, I still prefer the gritty tone to it. It can still be colorful, just have 'em dark schemed.

I think Picture City can be made to look rather sombre with the right sort of atmosphere. I tried to do that in this drawing I still haven't finished:

That is nice. Maybe I'll do my own take on this urban area.

Hm, a city world, eh? Bit like Gotham City from Batman: The Animated Series? Or more Metropolis?

I was thinking more Metropolis but I don't know what Bradandez has in mind. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen Picture City portrayed as an actual city, aside from in that picture I drew.

Indeed, makes one wonder, doesn't it?
Hm, the DCAU had a very Art Deco-esque look to it, does that fit in Rayman?

I'm not familiar with DCAU, so I can't be the judge of that. :)

Short for DC Animated Universe, essentially the 90's Batman and Superman cartoons, and the two Justice League cartoons that followed them.

a good background or obstacle for the dark part of Picture City could have a giant pencil sharpener with a numerous amount of sharp holes, giving it kind of a decayed building feel to it

I was thinking more of Batman: The Animated Series. I think it would be interesting.
